No issues at all with the shoulders. In fact, I've been doing consistent upper-body lifting (no bench/squat/deadlift so as to not tax any systems) and have made some very steady gains/muscle growth throughout this period. Other than cycling, I haven't lost any other physical capabilities and don't have any pains. The leg aching isn't painful at all, just sort of akin to post-ride soreness and/or lactic acid build-up....for example, I can be off the bike for a month, but for a few hours on a random day my quads will feel as though I just rode 60-70 miles. It doesn't persist, and there's little rhyme or reason for it (ie can't tie it to a specific food, lack of sleep, or anything like that).
